This document discusses brand management concepts like brand equity, brand value, and the brand equity pyramid. It defines brand equity as the goodwill and recognition that builds customer affection and loyalty over time, translating to higher sales and profits. Brand value refers to the monetary worth of a brand as a business asset. The brand equity pyramid shows how consumer recognition, perception, response, and bonding are built up from a brand's identity. Strong brands have high equity through loyal, many customers. While equity measures loyalty, value looks at monetary returns; a brand can have high equity but low value, or vice versa.
